I have a RCA Universal Remote that looks like the model RCU800. The only thing is my remote doesn't have a code search button, which is required to program your tv to use the remote. I'm trying to use my RCA remote with my new Sharp TV and it's really frustrating because I can't program it....

Any suggestions?

I got the following from the RCA.COM web site...

D760 - Universal DBS Television Programming Instructions

1. Find the codes for your TV below.
2. Manually turn on the TV


3. Press and hold the TV button.  While holding the TV button, press the first number of the TV code.  If the first number is valid the LED will turn off.
4. Enter the remaining TV code numbers. (If the code is invalid the LED light will flash four times and abort the remote back to normal operation maintaining the current mode.)
5. Aim the remote at your TV and press the ON·OFF button.  Your TV should turn off..  
6. With the TV on, press CH+ (CHANNEL UP).  If the TV responds, no further programming is required.  If the device does not respond, repeat steps 3-6 using another code.

The codes listed for Sharp TVs are: 1173, 1095, 1171, 1004, 1006, 1012, 1029, 1111, 1112, 1113
